之句式篇

1．George Bernard Shaw was interested in the way people spoke．

萧伯纳对人们说话的方式很感兴趣。

people spoke是定语从句，修饰the way。way作“方式”解，后接定语从句时，若引导词在从句中作状语，则引导词可用that或in which，that/in which也可省去。

☞I don’t like the way he speaks．

＝I don’t like the way that he speaks．

＝I don’t like the way in which he speaks．

我不喜欢他说话的方式。

【跟踪典例】

使我惊奇的不是他的话而是他说话的方式。

What surprised me was not what he said but ________ ________ ________ ________ ________．

【答案】the way he said it 2．Generally speaking，he thought that lower class people betrayed themselves with their remarks whenever

they spoke，and that he could classify people’s social position after only a few minutes’

observation．

一般而言，他认为阶级地位低者一开口他们的言论便会暴露他们的身份，并且他可以在几分钟的观察之后判定人们的社会地位。

whenever在句中引导让步状语从句，意为“无论何时，每当”，此时相当于no matter when。

☞Whenever/No matter when you come here，you will find him at his desk．

不管你什么时候来这儿，他都在用功。

☞You may come whenever/no matter when you please．

你什么时候愿意来就什么时候来。

【名师点津】

类似引导让步状语从句的词除了whenever外，还有however，

wherever，whatever，whoever，whichever等，相当于“no matter＋疑问词”。“疑问词＋ever”除了可引导让步状语从句外，

有时还可引导名词性从句，而“no matter＋疑问词”只能引导让

步状语从句。

【跟踪典例】

Please call my secretary to arrange a meeting this afternoon，or ________ it is convenient to you．

3. I’d never have come if I’d known about this disgusting thing you want me to do...

如果我知道你们想要我做这件令人讨厌的事情，我绝对不会来……

本句是由if引导的与过去事实相反的虚拟条件句，条件从句的谓语动词用“had＋过去分词形式”，主句☞However late he is，his mother will wait for him to have dinner together．

不管他回来多晚，他的母亲总会等他一起吃晚饭。

☞Whatever you say，I won’t believe you．

不管你说什么，我都不会相信你。

☞Whoever breaks the law will be punished．

无论是谁，违反法律都将受到惩罚。

中的谓语动词用“would/could/should/might＋have＋过去分词”形式。

【名师点津】

虚拟语气在条件从句中的用法

在含有虚拟条件句的复合句中，主句和从句的谓语都要用虚拟语气，主要有以下几种情况：

从句

与现在事实

相反

与过去事实

had＋过去分词

相反

与将来事实

可能相反

动词过去式/should＋动词原形/were to＋动词原形

＋have＋过去分词

would/could/should/might＋动词原形

动词过去式(be的过去式用were) would/could/should/might＋动词原形

would/could/should/might主句

☞If she knew English，she wouldn’t ask me for help．如果她懂英语的话，她不会找我帮忙的。

☞If I were you，I would go to the hospital．如果我是你，我会去医院的。

☞If I had known her number，I would have called her．

如果我知道她的电话号码的话，我就给她打电话了。

☞If it were to snow this evening，they would not go out．如果今晚下雪，他们将不出去了。

10

注意：

在书面语中，如果虚拟条件从句中有were，had或should，可以把if省略，而把这几个词放到主语之前，

构成倒装结构。有not时，not不用提前。

☞Were it necessary，I might resign．如果必要的话，我可以辞职。

☞Should they have patience，they could do the work well．

如果他们有耐心的话，他们就可能把这项工作做好。

【知识拓展】

当条件状语从句表示的行为和主句表示的行为所发生的时间不一致时，被称为“错综时间条件句”，动词的形式要根据它所表示的时间做出相应的调整。

☞If you had followed my advice just now，you would be better now．

如果你刚才接受我的建议，你现在会好些。

☞If you had studied hard before，you would work in the office now．

如果你以前努力学习，你现在就在办公室里工作了。

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

This year’s four hundredth anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare is not just an opportunity to commemorate(纪念) one of the greatest playwrights of all time. It is a moment to celebrate the extraordinary ongoing influence of the great man. 13

①Shakespeare’s legacy is without parallel: his works translated into over 100 languages and studied by half the world’s schoolchildren. As one of his contemporaries, Ben Jonson said Shakespeare was "not of an age, but for all time". He lives today in our language, our culture and society —

and through his enduring influence on education.

②Shakespeare played a critical role in shaping modern English and helping to make it the world’s language. The first major dictionary compiled(编纂) by Samuel Johnson drew on Shakespeare more than any other writer. Three thousand new words and phrases all first appeared in print in Shakespeare’s plays. Shakespeare pioneered innovative use of grammatical form and structure while the pre-eminence(卓越) of his plays also did much to standardize spelling and grammar.

③His words, his plots and his characters continue to inspire our culture and society. Nelson Mandela, while a prisoner on Robben Island, cherished a quote from The Tragedy of Julius Caesar which said, "Cowards die many times before their deaths. The valiant never taste of death but once." From Dickens and Goethe to Tchaikovsky, Verdi and Brahms; from Arthur Laurents’ West Side Story to the Hamlet-inspired title of Agatha Christie’s "The Mousetrap" —

the longest-running theatre production in London’s West End today, Shakespeare’s influence is everywhere. And his original plays continue to entertain millions.

④But perhaps one of the most exciting legacies of Shakespeare is his capacity(能力) to educate. As we see from the outreach work of the Royal Shakespeare Company and Shakespeare’s Globe and the impact of pioneering British charities like the Shakespeare Schools Festival, studying and performing Shakespeare can help improve literacy, confidence and educational attainments.

Every day throughout the year, Britain is inviting you to join us in celebrating the life and legacy of William Shakespeare. On 5 January, Twelfth Night, we launched "Shakespeare Lives" — an exciting global programme of activities and events to highlight his enduring influence and extend the use of Shakespeare as an educational resource to advance literacy around the world.

The programme will run in more than seventy countries, led by the British Council and the GREAT Britain campaign. You can share your favourite moment of Shakespeare on social media, watch never-before-seen performances on stage, film and online, visit exhibitions, take part in workshops and debates, and access new Shakespearean educational resources to get a grip on the English language.

The Royal Shakespeare Company will tour China; Shakespeare’s Globe will perform across the world from Iraq to Denmark. Young people will reimagine Shakespeare in Zimbabwe. A social media campaign called "Play Your Part" will invite the next generation of creative talent to produce their own digital tribute to the Bard — and, 14

in partnership with the British charity Voluntary Service Overseas, we will raise awareness of the huge challenge of global child illiteracy(文盲) and use Shakespeare to increase educational opportunities for children around the world.

Beyond the great gift of language, bringing our history to life, his ongoing influence on our culture and his ability to educate, there is just the immense power of Shakespeare to inspire people. From the most famous love story to the greatest tragedy, from the most powerful fantasy to the wittiest comedy, and from the most memorable speeches to his many legendary characters, in William Shakespeare we have one man, whose vast imagination, boundless creativity and instinct for humanity encompass the whole of the human experience as no one has before or since.

So, however you choose to play your part, please join us in this unique opportunity to celebrate the life and enduring legacy of this man, ensuring that, as he himself put it, "all the world’s a stage" and that through his legacy, truly, Shakespeare Lives. 1. Which is one of Shakespeare’s contributions to language?

A. Popularizing English. B. Creating new spellings. C. Simplifying grammar. D. Producing professional dictionaries. 2. Which is the best place for "But Shakespeare’s influence is felt far beyond our language."?

A.①

B.②

C.③

D.④

3. What does the reference to West Side Story and The Mousetrap suggest?

A. The great success of the two works. B. Shakespeare’s wide power on other writers.

C. People’s strong preference for musicals.

D. The high popularity of Shakespeare’s works.

4. What can we know about "Shakespeare Lives"?

A. It is a charity programme launched online. B. It has provided free education for many poor children. C. It aims to impress more people with Shakespeare’s influence.

D. It makes some of Shakespeare’s works public for the first time.

5. The underlined word "encompass" is closest in meaning to "________

". 15

A. expand

B. include D. improve C. appreciate

6. What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To show Shakespeare is a great playwright. B. To prove Shakespeare’s influence is everywhere.

C. To introduce some influential works of Shakespeare. D. To attract people to a programme in honor of Shakespeare. B

There’s nothing better than reading a good novel for switching off from the pressures of studying, particularly when doing so helps improve your general knowledge, deepen your cultural appreciation and sharpen your own English skills at the same time.

The following two masterpieces are my selection of "must-read" books for anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of English literature. As most of the great works that well-educated people are often expected to have read — known as the "canon" — were primarily written in the 19th century or a little after, these two also focus on that time period. Whether you’re a native English speaker or just learning, add these books to your reading list and make it your mission to read them before the year is out. Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

This tale is a set text for GCSE and A-level English study, but away from the demands of the classroom it’s easier to enjoy its drama and intensity. Populated largely by characters whose incapacity to control their own emotions leads to violence and revenge(报仇), it’s a tale that covers two generations and two families. At the heart of the story is the mysterious "gypsy", Heathcliff, adopted as a shabby child into the Earnshaw family to live at

Wuthering Heights. As he grows up, he becomes close to Mr. Earnshaw’s daughter Catherine, falling in love with her, only to be met with crushing(毁坏性的) disappointment when she marries Edgar Linton, a kind and gentle man from neighbouring Thrushcross Grange. Heathcliff runs away and disappears without a trace. Three years later, he returns, now a rich, educated man determined to take revenge. Middlemarch by George Eliot

Middlemarch, subtitled "A Study of Provincial Life", is the story of the citizens of a Midlands town in the 1830s. Masterfully weaving together several plotlines, the novel records information about the fortunes of an interesting cast of characters, exploring their motivations, false beliefs and preoccupations(思虑). The remarkable thing about Middlemarch is the detail and realism with which George Eliot describes emotions. Feelings you 16

thought were unique to you are described here in a way that could be describing your own thoughts. It’s one of the reasons why Middlemarch has been described by novelists Martin Amis and Julian Barnes as one of the greatest English novels ever written; read it and you’ll soon find yourself agreeing with them.

7. What does the underlined word "incapacity" probably mean?

A. Refusal.

B. Inability. D. Misunderstanding. C. Prejudice.

8. What may make Middlemarch unusual or surprising to people?

A. Its lively description of the country life. B. The skillful mix of its different threads of plot. C. The coexistence of its several irrelevant plotlines. D. The way Eliot reveals its characters’ inner feelings.

9. Why does the author mention Martin Amis and Julian Barnes?

A. To state their attitude towards Middlemarch. B. To show their contribution to Middlemarch. C. To prove Middlemarch is a book worth reading. D. To stress the influence Middlemarch has on them. 10. What is the best title for the passage?

A. What are the advantages of reading? B. Should students read literary works? C. English novels everyone should read D. Tips on choosing suitable reading materials Ⅱ. 七选五型阅读理解

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

The old saying"The early bird catches the worm”show us the importance of planning, working hard and trying constant. To achieve outstanding results, the most people must plan ahead and work hard to overcome all kind of difficulties.

That has been my own experience, either. When I first started high school, I seldom passed my exams, so I never prepared well. Later, my teacher, Mr Black, advised me plan everything in advance. She asked me to study hard as well. After a year of putting his advice to practice, I can now easily pass all my exams. There are no direct roads to succeed.

K能力

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。在莎士比亚去世400周年之际英国将在全球举办一系列活动来纪念这位为全人类作出巨大贡献的伟人。

3. B【解析】考查推理判断。根据第四段中的"His words, his plots and his characters continue to inspire our culture

and society"可知,莎士比亚对我们的文化和社会产生了很大的影响;下文列举的"from Arthur Laurents’ 20

West Side Story to the Hamlet-inspired title of Agatha Christie’s ‘The Mousetrap’"则是具体体现,这两部作品的创作也受到了莎士比亚的启发,即莎士比亚对其他作家也有广泛的影响力。故选B项。

4. C【解析】考查细节理解。根据第六段中的"we launched ‘Shakespeare Lives’...to highlight his enduring

influence and extend the use of Shakespeare as an educational resource to advance literacy around the world"可知,该活动旨在让莎士比亚的影响力深入人心。考生易误选D项。第七段中提到了观看前所未有的舞台表演,但这并不是说会首次公开展示莎士比亚的一些作品,故可排除D项。

5. B【解析】考查词义猜测。根据倒数第二段中的"From the most famous love story to the greatest tragedy, from

the most powerful fantasy to the wittiest comedy, and from the most memorable speeches to his many legendary characters"可知,莎士比亚的作品涉及面很广,他广阔的想象力,无限的创作力和对人性的透彻理解涵盖了人类的所有阅历,达到了"前无古人,后无来者"的境界。画线词意为"涵盖,包括"。

6. D【解析】考查作者意图。通读全文可知,本文由莎士比亚的影响力入手引出了号召人们参与为纪念莎士

比亚而举办的一系列活动的主题。最后一段中的"please join us in this unique opportunity to celebrate the life and enduring legacy of this man"是关键提示。考生易误选B项。虽然本文由阐述莎士比亚的影响力入手,第二段至第五段集中体现了莎士比亚在许多领域的广泛影响力,但根据下文作者花大篇幅介绍的活动Shakespeare Lives可知,作者提及莎士比亚的影响力其实是为了号召人们参加为纪念莎士比亚而举办的一系列活动,故可排除B项。

B

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,简单介绍了《呼啸山庄》和《米德尔马契》这两本书的内容及其特点。

8. D【解析】考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的"The remarkable thing about Middlemarch is the detail and realism

with which George Eliot describes emotions"可知, Middlemarch的非凡之处在于:George Eliot在描述情感时的细致入微和对现实主义手法的运用。故选D。

9. C【解析】考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"It’s one of the reasons why Middlemarch has been described by

novelists Martin Amis and Julian Barnes as one of the greatest English novels ever written"可知, Martin Amis和

Julian Barnes认为这本书是最棒的英文小说之一。由此可知,作者提及这两个人是为了说明

Middlemarch是一本值得阅读的好书。故选C。

10. C【解析】考查主旨要义。纵观全文尤其是第二段中的"The following two masterpieces are my selection of

‘must-read’

books for anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of English literature""add these books to your reading list and make it your mission to read them before the year is out"可知,本文主要介绍了想更了解英国文学的人必须阅读的文学名著《呼啸山庄》和《米德尔马契》的内容及其特点。故C项作本文标题最佳。本题易误选A项。考生看到文章的第一段内容"There’s nothing better than reading a 21

good novel... helps improve your general knowledge, deepen your cultural appreciation and sharpen your own English skills at the same time"就想当然地以为下文亦是对阅读的好处的介绍,但是文章第一段只是为了引出作者想要介绍的话题,并不是文章内容的总结,故可排除A项。

Ⅱ. 七选五型阅读理解

【语篇解读】一些最常见的高中年级所犯的错误。

1. E【解析】根据下句：你最好设法避免这些常见的错误。可知E. Almost every high school senior makes some

mistakes.（几乎每个高中学生都犯一些错误。）符合题意。

4. F【解析】根据上文：这些都是令人兴奋的未来可能性，但是别忘了这里和现在。可知花太多时间做白日

梦会严重限制未来的计划。故选F。

5. G【解析】根据下文：这种帮助可以是额外的办公时间的形式……可知上文的意思是：他们中的许多人是

足够的好而提供额外的帮助。this/extra是关键词。故选G。

Ⅲ. 短文改错

The old saying"The early bird catches the worm”

After a year of putting his advice practice, I can now HeintoThat has been my own experience, easily pass all my exams. There are no direct roads to 【解析】

第一处：主语是The old saying，且为一般现在时，谓语动词应该用第三人称单数。

第二处：修饰动词trying用副词constantly。

第三处：此处不是最高级，most表示“大多数”。

第四处：all kinds of是固定搭配，表示“各种各样的”。

第五处：too用于肯定句中，either用于否定句中。

K真题

1. C【解析】句意：我们给我们的学生们提供极好的教育，作为回报，我们期待我们的学生们努力学习。A.

平均起来，一般说来；B. 最多，充其量；C. 作为汇报；D. 毕竟，终究。根据句意故选C。

2. B【解析】虚拟语气中，be动词统一用were；虚拟语气的省略形式主要是把if省略，同时把were/should/had

提前，即Were /Should/ Had I...，故选B。句意：要不是老师们的支持，该生是无法克服她自己的困难的。

1. C【解析】approach靠近，接近；wrestle摔跤，斗争；compromise妥协，和解，让步；communicate

交流。句意：他并容易妥协，但是对于正义的事业，他愿意接受任何建设性的建议。根据句意可知C项正确。

2. A【解析】in return回报；in common共同的；in turn轮流；in place在合适的位置。句意：当James住在

这个村里的时候，他无私地把他的任何东西都分给村民，没有向村民要过回报。根据前面的单词unselfishly无私地，可知他这样做不图回报。故选A。学科#网

3. D【解析】in view of在……眼里；in need of需要；in touch with和……接触；

in harmony with与……和

谐相处。这四个短语后面都应该接名词。句意：人的生活是自然的一部分，因此，我们生存下来的唯一的方法就是与自然和谐相处。根据句意，故选D。

4. B【解析】考查让步状语从句。I have to give a speech句中有主语、谓语和宾语，可知不能选whatever和

whoever，又however后面跟副词或形容词，故选whenever。句意：不论什么时候我演讲，在开始之前我都特别紧张。

5. A【解析】本题考查错综时间虚拟语气。句意：如果不是因为前几天他的邀请，我现在就不会在这里了。

主句是对现在情况的虚拟，if从句是对过去情况的假设，故从句要用过去完成时。
